According to Jasmine, she decided to shave her head after an alopecia flare-up in the months after she gave birth. She explained, \u201cMy alopecia is an autoimmune condition, which means my body\u2019s immune system mistakenly attacks my hair follicles. Things like stress and the postpartum period can make it flare up even more, which is why it sometimes comes and goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Jasmine, Matt decided to shave his head as well as a sign of support. Praising her partner, she wrote, \u201c[Matt Branistareanu] didn\u2019t just shave my head \ud83e\ude92 he helped me shed the pain I carried. Alopecia, PTSD, anxiety, postpartum\u2026 through it all, he stood by me with love.
